    @F6exb and @Everyone, comparing the texts in fuergod.pdf has lead me to change one line in my tableau to

    g ACDBHJFIGEMNLKOTRSPQYZVUXW
    

    Thanks/cheers.

    I have NOT looked at the encipherment of digits, and they differ between the two PDFs mentioned in this thread.

    Here is a corrected plaintext, including many missing umlauted vowels and expanded numbers (letters between Qs),
    and some typos (e.g., DEMNAECHSU for DEMNÄCHST and LYBIEN for LIBYEN) by the encryptors:

    GANZ ZUVERLAESSIGER VERTRAUENSMANN MELDET UNTERM DRITTEN AUGUST YY ITALIENISCHER DAMPFER SUMATRA SOLL DEMNAECHSU REST DES DRITOEN ERYTHRAEISCHEE BATAILLONS UND DAS SECHSZEHNTE BATAILLON UND URLAUBER VON LYBIEN NACH PORT SAID UEBER FUEHREN SOWIE VON PORT SAID DAS ERSTE ELFTE UND ZWOELFTE BATAILLON NACH LYBIEN BRINGEN Y DAS QHZQ X BATL Y IST AUGEN BLICKLICH IN BENGHASI X ES SOLL DURCH DAS QHPQ Y ERSETZT WERDEN X DIE ERXTHRAEISCHEN BATAILLONE IN LYBIEN SIND SEHR GESCHWAECHT X DAS IN LXBIEN BEFINDLICxE QHDQ Y BATL Y ZAEHLT NUR NOCH QPDFQ MANN Y ZWISCHEN LXBIEN UND PORT SAID VERKEHRT ALLE ZEHN TAGE EIN POSTDHHPFER Y DER AUCH FUER TRUPPENTRANSPORTE BENUTZT WIRD X POL Y QJFFVGQ

    Tnx.
    My program give me the same plaintext.
    Now I have to fight with your ciphertext 🙂

    @F6exb, yes, well done.

    If we reorder the tableau in the order used by the Germans rather than the cryptanalysts,
    patters emerge.

    I do wish I had access to all of the intercepted messages, so I could check these.

    Which Wilhem Created this cipher ?
    Tranow, Fenner or another ?

    “Wilhelm” is just a nickname given to the cipher by nonGerman cryptanalysts.

    Maybe because this cipher is use in Kaiser Wilhelm’s country?
